About This Book

A long-serving colonial official recounts more than thirty years of administrative service in Burma, mixing chronological memoir with descriptive digressions. He details postings from delta townships to frontier commissions, episodes from Mandalay and Rangoon, and the process of annexation; offers practical explanations of administrative structures; records encounters with diverse ethnic communities; reflects on Buddhism and local customs; and includes photographic and observational sketches. The tone is observational and retrospective, combining personal anecdotes, institutional history, and cultural description.
